AI Summary
This bill, the Autonomy for Disabled Veterans Act, aims to increase the amount the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) pays to veterans for improvements and structural alterations made as part of their home health services. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum amount from $6,800 to $10,000 for certain disabled veterans and from $2,000 to $5,000 for other disabled veterans. Additionally, the bill requires the VA Secretary to annually adjust these dollar amounts based on the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. The changes apply to veterans who first apply for these benefits on or after the date the bill is enacted, but do not provide additional benefits to veterans who have already exhausted their eligibility.
